Who is Patterson Thompson?
Patterson Ian Chesterfield Thompson is a former West Indies cricketer. He never recovered from a terrible start to his Test career and played only once more at that level, as well as in two One Day Internationals.
Thompson made his first-class debut for Barbados in the 1994–95 Red Stripe Cup, and performed well, taking six wickets in the game – his first being that of Jamaica's opening batsman and Test player Robert Samuels. He took ten wickets in all that season at 27.20, and in the following year's Red Stripe Cup he claimed 23 wickets, the fourth highest of any bowler that year, at 22.34. As a result, at the end of the West Indian season in April, Thompson was picked for the first Test against New Zealand at his home ground of Bridgetown.
Although West Indies won the match by ten wickets, Patterson himself had a torrid time. His first over in Test cricket went for 17 runs, and in all he bowled 13 no-balls in the first innings. He did pick up two wickets, but finished with the analysis of 8–0–58–2.
Patterson Thompson was used in a gag by socialite Marcus Mcmeekin and Quentin Sear in the Summer of 2004/05.
